I’m not going to say that US needs a universal, single payer healthcare system, but I will say that the US government definitively has a role to play in healthcare vis-a-vis managing pandemics.

The system isn't the issue. As you can see other countries with universal health care have had issues managing this crisis. Those that had success caught it early and acted decisively (2 things we didn't do). Not using universal healthcare shouldn't be considered for the US but it is a bandaid to the real problem: cost of drugs, preventative approach to managing health vs current reactivate approach, and operating model for all involved (doctors, insurers, and hospitals)

Someone who prioritise money over people?
Can you explain how it is in your own hands or Trump’s - you said both, I am confused.

I used to work for a health insurer and I think single payer would be a far better solution. Health insurers have little negotiating power on prices - as you can see based on hospital bills and the cost of pharmaceuticals. And they contribute to making the system overly complex.

The amount of time and expense that is wasted on administration is mind boggling. Nevermind the inhumanity of tying access to healthcare to employment.

Single payer is a complete no brainer. Only uninformed people think the current system is preferable.

Can’t answer the question?

You are correct! Then Abbot Labs couldn’t create testing machines quickly capable of testing 50,000 COVID-19 test per day. Getting malaria drug and Z-pac wouldn’t happen anytime quickly. Drugs to treat and new pandemic would not get through clinical trials. You would have even more of a shortage of beds, Doctors and nurses than you have now. Let’s let the government fully control every aspect of our lives. You know we should be China..
